Blythe Inspired

Hello.

A few weeks ago, I did some simple drawings for final year booklet. I actually nak buat monochrome style tapi macam pale sangat pulak bila dah siap. haha So, kita main make-up make-up lah. Buh blusher sikit, buh lipstick sikit... and siap!
 
Comel tak? hehe 

See you later, 
xoxo ❤

Acrylic & Canvas

Hello.

Haritu masa tengah duk cari-cari artworks for FYP booklet, aku pun terfikir. Why not aku compile kan gambar beberapa keping canvas painting yang aku pernah buat sepanjang bergelar pelajar animasi ni kan. hehe Kesemuanya ada empat. Tapi yang satu tu aku tak compilekan sekali sebab canvas size A4 je pun. So, yang dicompilekan hanyalah canvas saiz beso beso. A1 & A2.

Setiap canvas ni ada kisahnya. Okay, meh nak cerita satu persatu. hehe  ツ


First; canvas gambar kuda ni aku buat pada hujung tahun 2012 untuk final project Subject Introduction to Drawing dengan Sir Fawwaz masa sem satu dulu. Oleh kerana ini first time guna acrylic & canvas besar gajah ni. So neves die lain macam sikit. haha tak reti weh. kekok semua ada. 

Selepas hari presentation, canvas kuda ni tersimpan rapi dekat galery UniKL kat tingkat 16. Harapnya masih tersimpan rapi lah sehingga ke hari ini. hehe 

Common soalan yang orang duk tanya aku; "Kenapa kuda?" 

Masa nak buat final ni, aku macam takda idea then aku pun minta pendapat abang aku, then die cakap cuba lukis kuda. Mula mula aku tak nak, sebab susah. Aku rasa macam tak boleh buat. Tapi atas cabaran / sokongan dan dukungan dari abang tercinta, akhirnya aku pun buat jugak. Haha jadi ini lah hasilnya. Masa time presentation, aku kena judge dengan Sir Fawwaz, Sir Zaky & Sir Rosli. I still remember, yang paling pedas adalah komen dari Sir Rosli. He said;

"lukisan awak ni buruk kalau tak ada kuda putih tu. kuda putih tu penyelamat awak." -Mr.Rosli, 2012

Haha I know Sir, kuda coklat tu memang tak jadi sebab saya tak pandai nak blend colour dia. hehe Alhamdulillah tak ada air mata yang menitis saat keluar dari bilik judgers tu. ha ha ha 

Seterusnya, ini pula adalah canvas untuk final project class Sir Zaky, subject Figure Drawing. It's Puteri Gunung Ledang (Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina) versi tak siap. Buruk kan? Yea I know that. ha ha Sebenarnya time ni aku macam tak cukup masa sangat, sebab tu lah hasil dia macam tak berapa best. sebab busy dengan subject lain kot rasanya. Tah la tak berapa ingat. hehe Sokay, nevermind. 

Untuk final project ni kitorang kena buat figure pose. 'well-known figure pose' Jadi, ini adalah gambar kami (tak cukup satu class) pada hari submission canvas. Yang best sebab tak ada presentation. hehe Yeay! okay. Let's proceed to next canvas. 

This is the last one. Aku buat pada tahun 2014. Ini bukan final project. It was an assigment untuk Subject Illustration with Mr. Sheikh (suami Mdm. Suzi) The theme was; Fantasy. Jadi, ini lah hasilnya setelah aku berfantasi beberapa ketika.  
 

Last but not least, kita payung satu gambar pada hari submission canvas ni ye. hehe

Till then. 
Xoxo ❤

Fixing Polycount Problem

Hello.

In my previous post, I had mention about one problem that I have with my very first robot character isn't it? So, yeah I'm trying to fix the poly count problem by deleting all of the unimportant polygons/ elements within the character body. 

Figure 1

First, I turned on wireframe mode and search for any hidden elements or polygons. Figure 1 is the screenshot of the fingers part. I found a lot of hidden polygons there that I could delete. As you can see, there was a sphere (red) inside a finger's joint sphere (blue). The red spheres were hidden inside the fingers' joints spheres which means they are useless. I did not sure how come there's another sphere inside the joints.
So, yeah that was my bad. 

Figure 2

Figure 2 is the screenshot of the fingers after I removed the useless polygons.

Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 5

So, this is the final one, with lower poly counts. 

I'm glad that I could reduce the poly counts from 101 812 to 75 514 polygons.

The making of V0.1 Robot

Hello. ツ

I started to learn how to model and rig a robot through Youtube and blogs. I've found some tutorials about modeling and rigging robot character but they doesn't help me a lot, since they always skipped some of the important steps. Until I found a tutorial from cgswot.com  (this is CG Swot Youtube channel)

This tutorial was prepared by Dave Scotland, he covered how to rig a simple robot character using a link-rig system. I would like to say thank you to him for this great tutorial. Thank you so much Dave! :)

I've made some screenshots and notes while modeling this first character, which is V0.1 Robot. So, here we go. You may click the images to zoom.

Actually I've got one problem with this character; about the poly count. Disebabkan ni first time saya buat modeling yang lengkap macam ni, so tak terlintas langsung kat fikiran, pasal poly count. Bila dah collapsing all modifiers baru lah gelabah... macam melampau sangat je poly count robot ni sampai 100 000 + polygons. Hmm

"yang excited p 'collapse all' tu pasai pa wardaaa" Sigh. Hopefully tak jadi masalah masa nak animate and render nanti. :(

And last but not least, taraa! :) The rigging test for my first character, V0.1 Robot.

XOXO, ❤

Sadism | Pre-Production

Hello.

Pre-production is the first step in making an animation. It is the process of where the idea is gathered for the animation. Then, the ideas are enhanced by sketching them into thumbnails so that it appear visually. This allows the viewers to understand what is happening throughout the story.

Before going to the next step, I've to get approval from my project coordinator, Mr. Fauzi Naeim Mohamed or we call him Mr.M. During this stage, I have made a lot of brainstorm to get a good storyline. I’ve been rejected for so many times by my coordinator, Mr.M because of uninteresting and cliché storyline. After my thumbnails been approved, *at lasttt, alhamdulillah rasa nak nangiss* then, I’ve made some researches about staging and composition so that I could produce a good storyboard. 

Next, I did a lot of rough sketches to get the best character design for this 3D short animation project. After that, I started doing a fully colored storyboard (as required by Mr.M). Below is my demo reel that I presented to Mr.M at the end of my sixth semester.

'not so demo reel' I guess, sbb tak lengkap pun. Tak cukup requirement macam yang Mr.M mintak. I've tried my best nak complete kan semua yang Mr.M mintak tapi tak cukup masa. I'm sorry Sir. My bad.



The following video is my second demo reel. Sebab saya rasa demo reel yang first ni kosong sangat and not enough. So, I made the second one. *yang lebih complete kononnya* hehe But I think my second demo reel is more likely similar to animatic storyboard. So, here we go, enjoy! :)

Sadism | Introduction

Hello and assalamualaikum. 

Currently I'm working on a project which is my final project for my bachelor. I'm going to develop a short 3D animation entitled Sadism. The duration of this animation will be projected around 3 minutes 10 seconds. Basically, Sadism is a story about a robot named V_0.1, which is the main character of this story. It is an old model robot, living in a modern world. V_0.1 is not accepted by mankind. Until one day, he was killed by a mysterious girl. This story actually tells us of how cruel mankind can really be and no one can be trusted nowadays. 

In this 3D animation project, I will be focused on the modelling part. As I know, modelling is the basic and crucial aspect in a 3D animation production workflow, before I can actually proceed to next processes. Good models will make my life easier at the rigging and animation parts later. For this individual project, I will use Paint Tool Sai Software to make sketches and storyboard. Next, I will use Autodesk 3DS Max 2015 for modelling and animation parts, Adobe Photoshop CS6 for coloring and texturing. Lastly, I will be using Adobe After Effect CS6 to compose and edit the entire finished scenes into a full length short animation film. InsyaAllah.

Wish me luck!  :)

Assignment Storytelling (40%) | submitted

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamualaikum w.b.t :')

Alhamdulillah done for this assignment. 100% using MS Excel, Paint Tool Sai and Adobe Photoshop CS5. This is my first short novel. So, enjoy reading guys! :)

The main characters are Amirul Hakim & Qaseh Amirah

The Love Story

They are in the same class. Form 5 students. 

The basketball tournament is just around the corner. Every evening, Amir will have a basketball training.

He will go by his red scooter. He always parks at the same place/same position (at the garage). 

Everyday when Amir has basketball traning, Amira will put one cupcake at Amir’s scooter. For the first time, Amir feels very weird. 

“who’s cupcake is this huh?” While scratching his head, he just left the cupcake box on the ground at the garage. 

The next day, Amira sees the cupcake that Amir left, but she does not upset. She knows that would happen. She just smile.

Today she puts another cupcake at the scooter but not only cupcake. There is a small card with the word ‘AMIR’ sticked on the cupcake box. That evening, Amir sees a small cupcake box again. But today, there is his name. He is very surprised. He says to himself..

“same cupcake.. there’s my name.. for me??.. but.. who is this from?” He takes the cupcake home and eats it. “hmmm, delicious!”

Amira has to follow her family. Her father has been transferred to France. 

Absolutely, the flight is exactly on the night she gave the last cupcake with her name to Amir. 

Actually, Amir already fell in love with Amira for the first time they met at the school (since Form 1). But, he was afraid to confess.

He never know that, the cupcakes that he got were from Amira until he got the last card with Amira’s name. 

That night, he tried to contact amira. But he got no reply. 

Then he go to Amira’s house. There, Amira’s neighbour told amir, Amira had already gone. The flight was on 6pm. Amir was really upset. He went home and became a boy that always day-dreaming. He was very sad for not confessing to Amira before. They lost contact but both are still keep loving.

Amira becomes a successful entrepreneur. 

She opens some branches of cupcake outlets in France, London, and Malaysia. She manages to handle the branch in Malaysia which is in KLCC because, she hopes that she will meet Amir one day..

UNEXPECTED thing happens,

One day, Amir hangs out at KLCC. 

Suddenly, he realises a name.

“Qaseh Amirah Cupcake House”.

He has good feeling about this. He walks very fast enter the outlet.

He goes to the counter and says to the cashier, 

“ i’want to see your manager. Can you please call her for a while? ”

Amira appears. Their eyes catch each other and both smile. 

Amir goes to Amira and says,

“ Amira.. I LOVE YOU since the first time we met, and I want yo to know that.

Please don’t leave me anymore.. it’s really difficult for me to live without you for these 7 years. I always tried to contact you, but I got nothing. I keep praying, and trust Allah hear me.

Qaseh Amirah, will yo marry me?   :’) ” 

Amir confesses and he feels very happy. He does not care what are

the replies from Amira. He trusts that they are meant together.

Amirah says, “ yes, I do! :’) “

They get married and lived happily ever after.
